Abstract

One of the obvious features and important tasks of any government is observing the principle of responsibility in exchange for the rights of others. Government's concept of Alavi thought and behavior is to provide service to people. From Imam Ali's (AS) point of view, responsibilities of government managers in accountability to people is a very important task and difficult test for them. Only the ones are more successful in providing service that do their best in terms of commitment in front of the society. The basic question in this paper considers the meaning of responsibility of managers and its main elements. In the issue of government authorities' responsibility their submissions, obedience and compliance to the request of others stands against their duties. The main element of responsibility is accountability which means considering other people's rights. This means that "you have a right and I have a duty". Imam Ali (AS) has mentioned this type of responsibility many times in Nahjolbalagheh.
In this paper, we discuss the principle of responsibility of managers and its concept from Imam Ali's (AS) point of view.
